However, the relevant features are not readily apparent and accessible. To mine informative latent representations from multichannel EEG recordings, we propose a novel differentiable EEG decoding pipeline consisting of learnable filters and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The concept of functional connectivity is central for understanding the synergistic behavior of brain regions which form distributed networks. With the fast advancement of neuroimaging techniques and the subsequent development of sophisticated signal-analytic methodologies, connectivity can nowadays be assessed in various ways. Often, the descriptive power of graphs is exploited by turning connectivity measurements into [...]]]></description>

In the case of transient VEPs (TVEPs) brain responses are never treated individually, i.e. on a single-trial (ST) basis, due to their poor signal quality. Therefore their main characteristic, which is the emergence during early latencies, remains [...]]]></description>
